Bruiser1 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Crosspost from OTN. Still rocking it after 4 years. I found a crack in the driveside seatstay/seattube weld last year at a comp, but I don't want to give up dual disc just yet. This is the strongest, most consistent, reliable, maintenance free braking I've had on my bikes. It. Just. Works. Always. Next frame I'll go back to rear V's, but I'll miss rear disc. Some part changes for this year, with lots of light stuff managed to get it at 19.6 lbs now. Went back to 16/14 gearing with a 16t echo Ti threaded cog, Breath CNC cranks, DT revo 15/16g spokes front and rear, and ti bolts. Trial zone 203mm rear rotor, and Ashima 97g front 180mm rotor. Had to use a half link and a KMC quick connect link to use 16/14 on this frame. Latest shot with some new parts. For whatever reason I couldn't get the rotors to work 100%, and with Raccoon Rally coming up I had to put my G3's on again. I'll give the light rotors another try after the comp, maybe there's too little pad contact area. More rainbow Ti bolts. Don't normally need a tensioner, the funbolts are more than strong enough on their own. But since I changed gearing, the axle sits further back and slips a bit into its old indentations. Snail cam takes care of that. Trying out caged pedals, super grippy. Echo TR with rockman cages, had to grind 3mm from each mounting post. Ti rotor bolts. Red alu bolts on the XTR levers and grip stops. Chainring bolts More rainbow Ti Will try for some clearer non-phone pics 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericbenjaminjr Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nice! I love dual disc on 26" as well. And it seems I'm not the only one wrapping the steerer tube in carbon sheeting? Questions; what bash ring is that? And the pedal cage? Don't look stock to me. Did you make them? And I see you run your snail cams outside the frame. Can one do the same on any frame?
